Should a serving British Prime Minister lower himself to the tack that is the Letterman show? I don’t really think so but obviously Cameron, that PR “expert”, thought otherwise. The BBC has been convulsing itself that the PM was ……gasp…. unable to identify the composer of Rule Britannia. Oh my, the shame of it. Further, just in case you needed a little extra prompting, scroll down the sub-heading “Not very … Continue reading

The Telegraph highlights it. Public spending threatens tolerant society, says Nick Clegg Public spending is threatening to undermine the country’s economic prosperity and needs to be “completely redirected”, the Deputy Prime Minister has warned. So yes, if we fail to deal … Continue reading

Lib Dem conference: Simon Hughes attacks ‘racist’ banks Deputy Lib Dem leader Simon Hughes says he has “seen and heard” banks making racist decisions on lending. He said banks will “say yes to a well established white … Continue reading

Through the left wing prism of the BBC the “Arab Spring” is an unambiguously “good thing” – albeit with the odd “bump in the road” (Copyright Obama) such as the slaughter and sodomisation of the occasional American ambassador. Hence the favourable reporting of… David Cameron is expected to urge world leaders to do more to support emerging democracies of the Arab Spring, as he addresses the United Nations General Assembly for … Continue reading

The most reasonable thought might be that maybe the ‘recession’ is not as bad as painted and that it is the measurement of the GDP figures that is wrong giving us a too low estimation of the economy’s output.
